Joh. El. Ridinger’s Hunting Album III/18. – Comp. Thienemann 198. – From the “Collection of Rare Stag’s Antlers Abnormities and Stag Pictures” listed as 3^rd part. – The whole rare set almost unknown to literature and comprising 80 leaves, though practically to be completed just peu à peu. In the picture effect corresponding to that of the aquatint technique not used by Ridinger anymore. – On buff paper.

After sheet 3 of the “Examination of the Wild Animals” though the lateral accessories have been omitted and therefore turning the leaf into upright direction. – Without the verses by Brockes. – Besides this deviation especially in regard of the quite independent picture effect as a result of the lithographic technique

a  very  fine  addition  for  any  collection .
